Oh, oh. You're absolutely right. Almost all of it is not food. None of it's food at all! We're all going to die!

It's all about the (food) choices you make. My question is: how do they think they can fit both a CVS *and* several food places in that area? It ain't all that big! gail Dubin, Elisabeth wrote: >Of course you are allowed to voice your opinion.
